Part 4/14:
Examining Altman’s career history reveals a pattern of the “just trust me, bro” approach. His early deal with the social app Loopt involved claims about vast user numbers that only totaled around 500 at the end, yet he insisted it was "100 times" larger. When confronted with evidence to the contrary, Altman refused to provide proof, demonstrating a penchant for overpromising and underdelivering. After the sale of Loopt, Altman left Green Dot, allegedly enriching himself in a controversial deal that benefited VC interests, notably Sequoia Capital.
